MY 16 MONTH OLD SON HAS HAD ECZEMA SINCE HE WAS BORN. I HAVE LEARNED TO MANAGE IT PRETTY WELL LATELY. JUST RECENTLY I HAVE NOTICED THAT IT HAS SPREAD TO HIS FACE, MAINLY UNDERNEATH HIS EYES. IT ALMOST LOOKS LIKE HE HAS GOT BAGS UNDER HIS EYES. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY ADVICE ON WHAT I COULD PUT ON IT. IT JUST WORRIES ME SINCE IT IS ON HIS FACE SO CLOSE TO HIS EYES. ANY SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREAT. THANKS!

" Hi Butterfly
My suggestion is too make sure his nails are short so he doesnt scratch as much and also cuts down on the cross contaminating, I always have short nails and the other thing is i use Lucas PawPaw ointment for my lips cos they are dry and under my eyes i like the Paw Paw ointment because it has no chemicals in it, Good luck and i hope it works "

" you can use Protopic around his eyes. it's not a steroid, so it doesnt do any dammage. if you put a thin layer on your pinky and run it over his eyelid it should clear itup over night. just dont goup it on there. "
